To Lecture Ticket Holders.

81 didn't suppose McCabe's lecture
was going to amount to much, so |
didn't co." said season ticket holder
this morning who was regretting that
he had missed one of the best things
of the course. Last winter some of the
best entertainments in that course
were also missed by ticket holders in
the same way. Now the lecture COM
mittee desire it to be understood that
they have not Intentionally engaged a
"cheap" lecture or Entertainments. Some
of the best speakers and best musical
talent may happen to be unknown to
ticket holders. The committee are not
infallible, as was shown in the case of
Stevens the bicyclist, but, aside from
this they feel that there is no lecture
or enterta nment in this course but is
worthy the patronage of the people.
Moral: Keep your tickets and attend
the lectures and concerts.
By the way, the lecturers and the
members of the concert company that
have appeared here this winter declare
that they have found no finer or more
appreciative audiences than St. Johns
bury has furnished.

If the Caledonian was to give a
timely agricultural article it would adj
wise all farmers to batten the cracks OF
their barns and outbuildings. 1t will
save both fodder and suffering. Some
strips of heavy paper, to be had at any
printing Office for a few cents, pasted
or tackled over cracks will keep out
lots of cold. This advice can be TAX
en- by others as well as farmers.

Monday afternoon at rapid rate. AS
he was about passing Rev. Mr.. Laird's
a sled with a three years-old boy Oh
it shot out from an adjacent yard di-
rected squarely across the street. Sui
loway brought his horse to a sharp
stand still as quick as possible but the
sled struck the carriage between the

when he was picked up, but examina-
ton showed that no bones were brok-
en- though he was somewhat bruised
and otherwise injured. 1t was as mar
row an escape as often occurs. The
little fellow is tllree-years old son of

Alarm of Fire.

Alarm of Fire.
When Waterman Spaulding's son
went home from school Thursday
evening he discovered a slight fire in
the charcoal under the shed belonging
to the scale works. He took a shovel
and threw on snow and supposed he
eXtinguished it. Later his father found
the fire still burning in the charcoal.
and being unable to subdue it alone,
rang in an alarm about 6.45. By the
time the department reached the scene
the shed was well on fire and mostly
consumed. But little coal was con-
sumed and the damage was slight. The
shed was so remote from the scale
shops that the danger to these works
was very slight; but the fact that the
scale shops had once been burned while
the entire fire department and several
hundred workmen were fighting the
fire, made people little nervous as to
the outcome of this alarm. The cause
of the fire is unknown, the most plaus-
ible theory being that a passing en-
CINE in the early part of the day was
the incendiary.
